I agree. But saying that you heard something from various sources is how
rumors get started, and the best way to prevent the spreading of
misinformation, whether intentional or not, and I'm sure that it was not in
this case, is to get the source from which he got it.

IMHO, you should use multiple sources. For example, you can google and
then use common sense to pluck out the accurate information. Googling on
KNFB Reader and the iPhone 4S brings up sources like the KNFB Reader
home page and the entry in the App Store, which you should obviously
trust. Links to posts on other lists, blog articles, tweats and so on
should be taken with a grain of salt.
Asking people for their source of information is obviously OK, and in
this case, I'm not sure the response to Google it was a very valuable
response, but if I recall, the person said there source was that they
heard about it from multiple sources, so again, you're back to Googling,
if you really want more information on the topic.

You can Google for info, but to be sure of accuracy, as in the case of
the KNFB reader, the manufacturer is the best source. They, if anyone
knows, should. So I ask for someone's source rather than looking
through Google, where you may get several sources, some will be correct
and others will be inaccurate.

I don't understand this post. Googling tends to get you closer to the
source, not further away from it. By way of example, how many posts have
we seen on the list lately claiming that KNFB Reader Technology doesn't
support the 4S, which is not the case, and is easily checked by
Googling. Googling gets you closer to the source whereas hearsay on the
list tends to get you further away from it.
I'm not saying we shouldn't be posting questions and answers to the
list, there are things you'll only find out by exchanging information on
a list like this, but I think people our missing out on a great resource
if they don't use Google.

Rather than googling, I'd rather get the source from the person who sent
the information. It's always better to get information right from the
horse's mouth rather than from a stable worker who heard it from the
owner of the horse who heard it from, well, you get the idea. Thanks.

Hi,
For what it's worth there is actually some merrit behind this advice.
Remember that changes in temperature cause things to expand /
contract. If we look at a chip that's been soldered onto a PCB for
example, leaving the device containing said PCB in a cold environment
for an extended period of time may cause the PCB to become slightly
deformed, which may result in one of the legs of the chip not making
an overly good connection, in turn causing the device to malfunction.
Cheers,
Ben.

Hi all, I just learned this and thought I would share. When you buy an
electronic device if it is cold, bring the device home and take it
out of
the box. Set it on something that is not metal, and leave it for an
hour so
that it can come up to room temperature. Once the hour is up it is
pretty
safe to plug the computer the device in and then charge it. If you
charge it
before it comes up to room temperature there could be damage caused
from
condensation or the item being too cold. This can sometimes damage or
kill
your device. God bless, Wren Langley
